EMI India Recalls Slayer's "Christ Illusion"
Band Photo: Slayer (?)
Mumbai-based EMI Virgin India Ltd has announced that it will recall all copies of Slayer's new album "Christ Illusion", after protests by Catholic Secular Forum (CSF), also based in Mumbai. Joseph Dias, general secretary of CSF, issued a statement early this week in which he takes "strong exception" to the album's cover artwork, which depicts "Christ with a missing eye and amputated arms." Dias also added that, "[the CSF] also condemn the track, 'Skeleton Christ' as the lyrics are an insult to Christianity." The CSF took further action, sending a memorandum to the police commissioner of Mumbai to the effect that the album "will affect the sensibilities of the Muslims on the track 'Jihad' and secular Indians who have respect for all faiths."
EMI India's marketing manager, Kaveri Khullar, stated in an interview that "We met with the CSF and were apologetic while assuring them that all copies of the album would be pulled out. We have no plans of re-issuing it in any way." Christ Illusion had only been on the shelves for a week, but Khullar didn't confirm the number of copies released, saying only that "There weren't too many that we launched anyway."

Well let's see...Cannibal Corpse is banned from playing anything from it's first 3 albums (aka, the good stuff) in Germany....Slayer's now got an album banned in India....black metal's being banned on Ebay....what in the hell is the world coming to?
I wish they'd ban all of the crap over here in the U.S. that tries to call itself metal. I've got a whole list of stuff I'd be happy to get rid of.......

ino FOS isnt an ammenment over there. i can understand why theyd get p***ed at jihad but christians are not the only people that get offended. like other religions get stuff about them but it seems that christians are the only ones that go as far as to ban stuff.

Finally a Slayer thread!!! Time to bash this four-pieced single entity sh**. That is Slayer, of course. Now let get to business it my purpose after all. And opinions count, hate to say it maybe your insignificant posts count...for the others not for my educated self. Only those who stand against this piece of sh** band will earn my respect.
After all, it should be a way of life. Many ask themselves? "Why does Anti-Slayer hates slayer so much?"
Because of the STUPID WORSHIPPING AND RESPECT that this sh**band does NOT deserve. Slayer is not greatness, slayer is not legend, slayer is not...anything.
They suck, they blows.
17. writes:
Slayer get respect like if they were big or something, like if they are not sh**, like if they don't suck major ass.
Maybe this goes through your mind, WE LIKE LISTENING TO SLAYER LIKE WE LIKE THEM, ALTHOUGH WE DON'T.
You know, I don't get it, i really don't, why would anyone want to hear the nauseatic vocals and utter whining sh** from Tom Araya.

Anit-Slayer and Red Devil, your English teacher should jump off a bridge. Do you have a problem with the letter "S"? You use it when you don't need it, and then it's gone when it is supposed to be there.

Seriously, you both sound like two of the worst ESL students in a fifth grade class. Learn to spell, use a spell check. You might actually be taken seriously for once. Well, probably not, but it's worth a shot. Slayer reigns supreme over all metal. Once you both learn this, we will all be better off.

You idiot. I graduated already, i'm in my early twenties. You're probably a douche who still gets his a$$ wiped by mommy, so, shut the f*** up.
Gamma Cephei, i'm shocked you are actually here i definitely need some reinforcement against these idiotic slayer fans. I spoke w/ deathbringer about toning it down. (Although i know you have a hatred toward him, you better chill or he will ban you).
I definitely need your alliance but most importantly your wisdom to fight these guys, i do agree th site boring without you though, haha. Not to mention Coco.
25. writes:
When i said about your hatred toward deathbringer i was referring to Red Devil. Not you Gamma, my bad.
Red Devil hates deatbringer he told me, cuz Coco got banned.
But anyway, it seems that India rejected slayer albums, good, i think the WHOLE WORLD should reject their albums.

man for Christ-or maybe they will stand in judgment of the God(s) they believe in, and that may not be your God.
What truly annoys me about a group like Slayer is that this is what they wanted-to just say 'f*** you' to a group of people and to disrespect them while they themselves have nothing intelligent to say-the 'rebel with a clue' theory. If they weren't such a stupid bunch of guys, they might have something worth while to say...
Any REAL Religion is about change for yourself and change for the world and all the REAL religions scriptures are about metaphor-that's how they really work-I'm blown away by the fact that the Christian Right doesn't seem to get that 'the end of the world'/rapture is really about growing and change, 'chosen ones' transcending is about YOU becoming a better person-not destroy the world and anyone who doesn't agree with you and thinking you will go to "Heaven"-the Heaven is you not being a d***.
All REAL Religion is about-cleansing your eternal spirit to being a better person for yourself and the next world beyond. Its sad that there are SO many people who are so lost and that their lives are so pathetic that all they have to look forward to is the rapture...

Religion is mostly bullsh**, like catholics, buddha, islam. But Satanism and Christianity are the ones that mostly make sense according to the ONLY bible for god side, and lavey bible on satan side. As we all know the source of some religions are jesus and mohammed, while mohammed is just a prophet jesus came as the son of god, although many ask themselves that question, the only true fact is that there was a historical christ 2000 years ago.
Now i believe in a deity, wheter it a god a goddess, or some sort of supernatural being, because of the way nature is. Like for example our bodies, all of our bodies has a purpose, it like we were made, or manmade to function. If the "nothing created us then we probably would not have been humans, because we couldn't just be made like this from nothing, come on.
I'm not that much into adam and eve, i believe the big bang may have been the way we were created by someone. I don't know, and we will never find out.
Just because evolution might had happen doesn't change the fact that a deity exists.

You're welcome to believe whatever you like, but you might want to check the fact that human history goes back at least 10000 years and that MOST Religions of any relevance are old than Christianity or Islam...You might also want to read up on Ezra-the man who collected the stories for the Bible, which came from older stories from Ethiopia, after the Reign of the Africans in Egypt and the Nubians before them who were around at the same time when China, India, and South America all had organized culture and Religion...

Wow, any student looking for a thesis topic could write an entire paper on just how retarded those last 5 posts are. Are you guys serious? I knew there where skewed ideas about religion but you guys take the cake. First of all, your posts are almost unreadable, you sound foolish when your posts are littered with spelling and grammatical errors. Second of all, go back to school, read a book; you need education in the worst way. Slayer is a band, they play music for entertainment. Do you think they consider themselves teachers? No, they make music about things "normal" people don't think about, mutilation, cannibalism, etc. That’s all it is, music. The small minded people of the CSF won the battle in India, hopefully that will never happen in the US.

The government tried to ban a couple CDs, the first being 2LiveCrew’s “As Nasty as They Wanna Be”. The state government lost that case and the publicity sky rocketed the CD to sell more than Luke ever dreamed. The second attempt to “ban” was the Body Count album “Cop Killer”. This turned out a little better for the man because I believe Ice-T decided to remove the track “Body Count” and change the cover art. But again, all the publicity drove sales way over expectation. So if you want to “ban” Slayer in the US, be careful what you wish for, it might just turn them into martyrs. Maybe you should try some reverse psychology. Start ranting and raving about how much you LOVE Slayer. Then you might get somewhere. Or better yet, just don't buy the damn thing.I commend you on your new “cleaned up” posts, now I can make sense of them.

Me, i hate Slayer with a passion, just like red devil and others.

I know why Anti-Slayer hates Slayer so much, I just figured it out. You went to see a Slayer show and you decided to go into the pit. The music was so violent that you got punched in the face and you p***ed you pants a little. Then as you where looking for your shoe some people laughed at your pee stained pants. You began to cry and you ran out of the venue crying all the way home. Now every time you hear or see anything about Slayer, those memories come back. I understand now. It is all so very clear. Sorry man.

slayer disciple, without slayer the first two woudnt exist, but kreator was there around the same time that slayer was i think. ill have to check. kreator is just like slayer only they handle their guitars better and the vocals have more rythim, although their missing the awesome intros that slayer has.

Slayer sucks ass, boy. They have no talent, just garbage, anti-slayer guess what? These idiots are the ones too stupid to realize that even if they influenced many other bands, they inspire them and became better than slayer. Slayer should get credit, only for having pave the way for many great bands, that slayer will be. Quite frankly slayer s just sh**. So stop your whinings, you are only making slayer looks like they got a bunch of emo fans. (Which they do, in my opinion).

post 56 kreator came out 2 yrs. after slayer, kreator released pleasure to kill at the same time as reign in blood, i agree with u bout the vocals i like Mille's vocals better then toms and i think that slayer handles there guitars better and Jeff is a better guitarist then Mille, Mille is a little better then kerry however

kerry f***en sucks, i can play his part in slayer easily. i guess they just felt like they needed a bald guy in their band, but jeff can shred like satan himself, where kreator has shorter solos, but more rythim in their general guitars so i guess their equal in my eyes.

"When you talk about SLAYER, it's like getting a written guarantee. When you buy the record or go to a gig you know what the record's gonna sound like before you buy it. You just haven't heard the music."
and he makes it sound like thats a good thing, every sh**ty song schleyer has written last decade has sounded the same, "solos" are just as crappy etc. Go back to writing real music again.. they've become boring as hell.

coco - this might seem to be too obvious a suggestion to even bother saying, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and suggest it anyway:
why don't you go spend your time at blabbermouth, considering that we only ignore you here, and that they, having similar opinions (so you say), will therefore (one would think) be less inclined to ignore you. I mean, you could stay here and waste hours of your time and effort posting things that nobody is even reading, or you could go there and make a few friends who think like-mindedly.
Just a thought, but it seemed like a win-win situation thought to me.
